Potrero Beach is an ideal base location for those interested in touring the local countryside. Many of Costa Rica's best destinations are easily accessible and nearby.

If you have visited Costa Rica in the past, you know the local highway conditions were very poor, however recent efforts to resurface and widen the roadways have vastly improved the driving situation for tourists that want to tour independently.

That said, a local guide may get you to your destination quicker and if you're not conversant in Spanish, a guide may help smooth over any language barriers that can come up along the way. You will find that Costa Ricans are extremely helpful, and will help you get to wherever you want to go.

Whether you rent a car or book through local tour operators, you are sure to find something for everyone here.
